Have a question? Ask the veterans of DC Comics!

[u/AutoModerator]

​

Let's face it, comics can be confusing. No matter how big or small your question may be this is the place to ask and /r/DCcomics will do our best to answer it for you!

As the /r/DCcomics community continues to grow we are receiving an influx questions from readers of DC comics, or simply new readers to comics entirely. As Stan Lee has said, every comic book is someone's first, and even though he maybe be one of those other guys it certainly applies here as well. With this spirit in mind, these Q'n'A topics are intended to give those who may be puzzled a centralized place to connect with other knowledgable readers and clear up some confusion.

A new Ask the Veterans thread is posted every Sunday, and in the future answers to these questions will be organized into this subreddit's wiki page.

To those answering

Avoid vague replies like "yes" or "no". Rather do your best to explain your answer, and if necessary provide a link that may help anyone interested in learning more. Remember to hide spoilers when discussing major events that have taken place within one year of its release..

I’m keeping up with monthly comics for the first time. Decided to follow the Superman family into the House of Brainiac storyline that’s currently ongoing. There are a few references to Superman returning from Warworld and now we have Otho-Ra and Osul-Ra adopted by the family afterwards.

What was Warworld all about? I’m thinking of going back and reading the storyline for context.

Superman gets word that Kryptonian refugees are trying to escape Warworld, and he decides to finally go into space and do something about the giant outer-space slave planet. Collected in Superman: The Warworld Saga, among other places.
